Sit and Nurse

When my kids were younger, I prefer to nurse lying down. But nowadays, it’s more convenient nursing sitting up as my girl will just nurse anywhere and anytime. Whenever she sees me sitting at my PC, she will definitely come for a feed, just for comfort. :) Sometimes, she refuses to let go and I have to type and nurse at the same time.

When I was expecting, I read somewhere that there are chairs meant for nursing. But it’s not really necessary, actually, any chairs similar as those from north carolina furniture will do.

I prefer those without the arm as when baby gets bigger, the arms will be blocking the baby from being cradled comfortably.

And if you nurse sitting up, make sure that you do not hunch. Place a pillow at your back to make yourself comfortable. Carry baby close to your and maintain tummy to tummy contact.

But since my girl is a toddler now, she knows how to help herself. I don’t have to cradle her like the time when she’s a baby. Breastfeeding a toddler is definitely another stage to of mothering moments to me.
